Abstract
What is disclosed is a plurality of prepaints which are used in any combination to produce base paints, colored paints and/or additive enhanced paints of varying end-use application characteristics. Additionally, a mobile paint factory for producing a plurality of lines of architectural, industrial and/or specialty coatings from a plurality of prepaints en route to and/or at various locations is disclosed. The mobile paint factory may include a vehicle having an additive integrated paint production system and a paint mixer located thereon. Furthermore, a method of producing a plurality of lines of user-selected architectural, industrial and/or specialty coatings from a plurality of prepaints en route to and/or at various locations is disclosed. The method may include: providing a mobile paint factory; prompting a user to select through the additive integrated paint production system an interior or exterior application environment, a paint sheen, and a paint quality; automatically dispensing predetermined amounts of appropriate prepaints; and agitating the dispensed prepaints.
